WILLIAM B. BLAKE, OF BEDFORD, OHIO.

VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 254,911, dated March14, 18 82.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, WILLIAM B. BLAKE, of Bedford, in the county ofOuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Vapor-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following tobe a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and useit, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form part ofthis specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in vaponburners; and it consistsin making the slit in the burner-tip slightly deeper on one side thanthe other, so that a portion of the flame which produces the light willbe diverted so as to heat the iulettube, and thus to vaporize the oil,and that without'in any manner interfering with the form of the blaze orthe brilliancy of the light produced.

The object of my invention is to dispense with the usual subsidiary jet,and with the tubes which conduct a portion of the gas to another part ofthe burner for the purpose of forming a subsidiary jet, and thus cheapenand simplify the burner in every way.

Figure l is a side elevation of my invention complete. Fig. 2 is avertical section of the same.

which the fluid or vapor is conducted to the burner is cast in a singlepiece with the vaporizing-tube D, and the upper portion of theinlet-tube rises almost to the top of the tip, and almost in contacttherewith. Formed upon the top of this inlet-tube, where it bends downward, is a deflector, G,the inner edge of which bears against thegas-tip, as shown. 7 The slit cut in the gas-tip is cut deeper on theside which isnext to the deflector, so that the slit will extendslightly below it. When the gas is lighted it escapes through the tipand produces the usual illuminating-flame, while from that portion ofthe slit which extends below the inner edge of the deflector a portionof the gas escapes, and is carried by the deflector outward along thesides of the inlet-pipe. This Application filed Jan-nary 20, 1882. (Nomodel.)

gas which passes under the deflector, being lit at the same time thatthe body of the gas is,

forms a jet for the purpose of heating the tube nd vaporizing the fluid.

It will be seen that by this construction the usual flame is producedwithout in any manner interfering with its symmetry or brilliancy, andthat a subsidiary portion of this main flame is diverted for the purposeof heating the inlet-tube without in any manner interfering with thesymmetry of the blaze.

By the construction above described it will be seen that all tubes forconveying gas to another part of the burner for the purpose of forming ajet for heating or vaporizing the fluid, all hoods, and other suchdevices as have heretofore been employed for forming a subsidiary jetare entirely done away with, and that the main flame is made to furnishnot only the light but the means of vaporizing the fluid.

Having thus described claim 1. In a vapor-burner, a tip having its slitcut deeper upon one side than the other, in combination with a deflectorwhich is placed upon the inlet-pipe, substantially as shown.

2. The combination of a vapor-burner with a deflecting device, the partsbeing so arranged that a portion of the gas which is escaping from thetip will be deflected Without impairing the symmetry of the flame forthe purpose of vaporizing the fluid, substantially as described.

3. The combination of the inlet-pipe provided with adeflector which hasits inner edge to extend inward toward or against the side of the tip,the vaporizing-tube, and a tip which has its slit cut deeper upon theside which is next to the deflector for the purpose of producing asubsidiary jet, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

WILLIAM B. BLAKE.
